I can't get my mind around OEL's contract. There is just nothing to support it's existence in year five through seven. There would have to be a big contract going back to Arizona, and because of how much it would deplete the Arizona D-corps, that means Gio.

In my mind, that swap favors Arizona. That contract really evens out value, a lot. But it does help to reset the Coyotes, so I understand it from their side. They are the ones that would have to get the Flames to bite on a trade.

Jan Jenik was mentioned earlier. That's the type of player who could be a third line right wing in the league, or could be a first line centre. Tonne of skill. If you want to build that position, you need to take chances.

To that end, in reference to Monahammer's suggestion above :

OEL+Kuemper+Jenik
for
Giordano, 1st 2020, Ryan

or I walk. Let Hall fall where he may.

I'd rather just trade Jankowski and a 5th for Fischer and call it a day.
